I kept telling my mom to buy stock in gun companies. She kept refusing. I'm surprised they're "Misplacing" records this frequently. I wonder if they're trying to slow down purchase rates. Either that, or people should start calling politicians to complain about this. Might help them realize how stupid our system is.

That "Semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm" clause is a little too vague... Is an AR15 a "Semi-automatic version of an automatic" M16? They're playing the NJ game-- make it vague to expand the meaning of the original law.

Thank you, sincerely for your service. Maybe that's true, I used to know some of the UCMJ, but not much. I have been (pleasantly) surprised with how many service members (it seems particularly special forces) have been coming out supporting gun rights. I know military members are usually VERY quiet on such matters, so things such as that letter some special forces guys wrote really surprised me. (Granted, I have no clue if all of them were active or perhaps they were all retired. Either way.)

Part of the reason I don't want to go alone.

Nice pistol, is that yours? Idk, I mean, the US military is sworn to uphold the constitution, I think it would be a bad idea for you personally, but I would only wish that a lot of people would show up in uniform. I mean, hell, they did it in the '60s during anti-war protests.

I'd say that the majority of people here have vouched for Paul. I can understand those who haven't done business with him griping, but it seems anyone who has had the pleasure of going to ANA has nothing but positive things to say. I think part of it is that we don't want to ACCEPT the high prices, it's sort of depressing since we're having to cut back on the hobby, and right, we so love. I mean, the economy is shrinking now, taxes are going up, gas, food, everything is going up, and now .223 Costs as much as new production 8mm Mauser, something I NEVER thought would happen. It's easier for us to blame price gouging than it is to swallow the bitter pill that there really is a shortage, and that with that, prices will go up.

Paul's a really swell guy. I can't speak highly enough of him. I am wondering, does anyone know what he's charging for 12gauge 00 buck? I need a box, but the prices for that have been kind of crazy too.

Anyone interested in going to the one in Camden, let me know. I don't want to go alone.

Got it, assuming I don't have work (Which I likely won't ) and can find someone to go to the Camden meeting with me, I'm there.

The what now? I've never heard of this.

Well that's exactly what it's doing. It's pretty much the same people on each of these bills.

I took Accutane, I remember I had to get blood-work every month, stating that if I got pregnant, the birth-defects would be severe. The issue is, if I got pregnant, particularly back then before I ever "put Percy in the play-pen" I'd be more worried about that than any potential birth defects. I try not to take much in the way of medication, well, I am on Adderol, but I've been on that since I was 6. I used to act out a bit as a kid, and got in trouble in class (usually bored since I was way ahead of the other 1st graders.) The school basically told my mom they'd try to take me away from her, or expel me if she didn't put me on meds. Oh, and from the biologist side, not everything they use as drugs were designed for that purpose. One of the methods employed is to basically go through lists of known compounds, which could be anything, pesticides, industrial lubricants, anything, and see if they have an effect on anything. This is particularly true of cancer drugs.

Have them try action shooting. And encourage them to bring their kids or nieces/nephews. Personally to me skeet and rifle shooting are more fun than pistol, try that. Thats the best way to educate people about firearms, so they ignore the BS theyre fed.

I had a thread months ago where i attempted to find that out. If i remember correctly it was around 33 for average age, and 20 something was the average age people first shot. Younger people didnt start shooting until they were older, generally. Take your kids out young!

Nah, didn't need surgery in the end, bout the worst of it was bloodwork twice a day, and an IV for 4 days. Was pretty close there for a while.

We better hurry, 10 more anti-gun bills were introduced today

I think they misread my original post, they're thinking of the ( I believe) 1989 ban in NJ. Or whatever year it was. God, can't believe that recently NJ was a free-state.

Actually, this is true. My friend lives in Tunisia, where the Arab spring started, initially caused by a guy who lit himself on fire to protest his anger with the government. She tells me now that the "Salafists" who do not want to work are getting violent, and demanding the government continue to issue their checks, which, not being an oil-rich country, they really can't afford to do it. Hell, she tells me how her teachers don't even show up half the time because they don't feel like it. But yes, you're the only other person I know who knew of the true reason behind the Arab spring. Except for the guns she carries, those are okay.

I was reading an article about how a ban is far less likely now due to the changed political atmosphere, and the implications it had for Senate democrats. My question is this, what was the reaction like back in 1993? I was only a year old, so I have no clue, were people freaking out as much as they are now? Are things reminiscent to how they are now, politically? What was stuff like then? Also, does this current bill have a real chance?

To be fair, my spleen was already swollen after about a month of Mono. And I'm not CERTAIN she ruptured it, she just punched that area, and I remember doubling over in pain. Pretty much the doctors told me if I walked into a table it could have ruptured.

Well, actually, I did almost lose a ball when I was in 6th grade, another time I wasn't going to seek medical attention. Only reason I ended up going was because I didn't want to go to CCD. As for the aggressor, here's one taken while my spleen was unknowingly ruptured. BTW- I forgot to mention, she punched me in the Mutter Museum. As for taking my spleen out, there are reasons you don't want it out, it increases your risk of infections, my mom's friend's son had meningitis recently because he never got certain vaccinations when his was removed. And the CT scan said it was healing, and the surgeons decided not to remove it, so I'm cool with it. Besides, I can't afford to miss any more work or school.

Not sure if anyone noticed that I haven't been around much lately, a lot has changed. Basically my life went from finals to Christmas, to girlfriend, to being sick and tired starting January 2nd. Coincidentally the day before I started dating my girlfriend. Well, it turns out I had mono, for about a month, and about two weeks ago I had some really bad stomach pain. Thought perhaps I was constipated, and so I tried every remedy (and I mean EVERYTHING). This was made worse by my girlfriend getting annoyed at me and punching me in the stomach, or rather, my left side, just under the ribs. Next day, I went to a clinic, since I can't get an appointment with my doctor, ever (I always seemed to get sick during Jewish holidays, Fridays which he takes off, or when there were no appoinments.) Well, they listened to my symptoms, and asked if I wanted an ambulance. Being the cheap-ass I am, I instead drove home in excruciating pain, and waited for my mom to take me to the ER. Eventually, I had a CT Scan, and found out my spleen ruptured, and I was having internal bleeding for a while. Initially, they told me they were going to have to remove it, but, being the badass I am, it's healing, which is good because I turn 21 on Feburary 19th, and I want to drink once I'm legal. But either way, I had to spend 5 days in the hospital, where I watched all the Sean Connery Bond films. Anyway, I'm fine now, but I figured this might be a bit of a funnier story, and at least something different from all the talk of AWB, and other stuff that's causing us gun owners to lose our hair, plus, I wasn't sure if anyone noticed I was gone. But the long and short of it is, always get checked out if something doesn't feel right, and don't get distracted when your girlfriend is talking to you.

40,000 is a lot of ammo, but if you have a family, and need to arm each member, that ammo would be spread amongst them. But all jokes aside, 8mm mauser hasn't been too terrible to find--not that I can afford it on my college student with a girlfriend ramen budget. That added in with my brother stealing a paycheck of mine, and a bunch of my other stuff, and me being out of work for a few weeks due to my ruptured spleen, I can't afford it anyway. Wish I would have gotten those 8mm Lee dies for Christmas I asked for

Well... they did vote him into office.
